Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a rice cake having a shape suitable for cooking by indirect heating.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Traditionally, the general production of cut rice cake is to polish unpolished rice to 90%, rinse it with water, soak it, steam the sufficiently absorbed water to make steamed rice, and then boil it with a rice cake making machine to prepare rice cake. doing. Then, after rolling the prepared rice cake, leave it in the refrigerator to properly harden the large rice cake. By combining the guillotine blades and rotary blades equipped with the automatic cutting machine, all six sides can be combined. Is molded into a flat rectangular parallelepiped. The cut rice cake cut into a rectangular parallelepiped has a substantially uniform shape and weight, and it is possible to obtain a difference in individual baking times during cooking. In addition, since it is possible to set arbitrary dimensions and weight at the time of manufacturing, it is possible to bake as it is without cutting again during cooking. Because it is a digestible food, it is widely popular as a traditional food.

[0003] However, when baking rice cakes, there is an indirect heating, that is, a means of placing a solid that absorbs heat well on a fire and placing food on it, specifically, such as a hot plate or an iron plate. If a cookware with a flat heating surface is used, the cut surface of the rice cake and the heating surface will come into full contact (hereinafter referred to as surface contact). As a result, since there is no gap due to the surface contact between the rice cake and the heating surface, it is difficult to turn the rice cake inside out, and if the temperature distribution on the heating surface is uneven, the baking color becomes uneven, and it takes time to bake. If necessary, there was a problem that it was easily burnt, and that the surface of the baked rice cake was flat, making it difficult to grip when picking up with chopsticks, and it was difficult to attach sauce etc. The hot plate means a heated iron plate for cooking. Most heat sources for home use are electricity and city gas is used for commercial use.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The present invention makes it possible to easily turn the rice cake upside-down even when it is baked with a cooking utensil whose heating surface such as a hot plate which is an indirect heating means has a flat surface without unevenness, and the rice cake is quick and uniform. The point is that it does not get burnt after baking, that the baked rice cakes can be easily grasped with the tip of a chopstick, and that the sauce or soy sauce adheres evenly to the baked rice cakes. The purpose is to provide cut rice cakes for indirect heating that also have the same function.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The concrete means of the rice cake for indirect heating cooking according to the present invention for achieving the above object is as follows. That is, the invention of claim 1 is an indirect heating cooking rice cake characterized in that each of the two front and back surfaces of the largest surface of the rectangular parallelepiped is cut into a curved corrugated shape. Further, the invention of claim 2 is an indirect heating cooking rice cake characterized in that each of the two surfaces of the rectangular parallelepiped, which is the largest surface, is cut into a linear corrugated shape. According to a third aspect of the present invention, the indirect heating cooking rice cake according to the first aspect is characterized in that the positions of the wavy shapes of the curves formed by cutting are matched on each of the front and back surfaces. Further, the invention of claim 4 is the rice cake for indirect heating cooking according to claim 2, wherein the positions of the linear corrugated shapes formed by cutting on the two front and back surfaces are the same.

[0006]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a part of a rice cake having a curved wavy shape, and FIG. 2 is a straight wavy shape. FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along line III-III of FIG. 1, FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along line IV-IV of FIG. 2, FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a curved corrugated guillotine blade, and FIG. 6 is a straight line. It is a perspective view of a corrugated guillotine blade.

In the drawings, 1A shows a rice cake cut into a curved wavy shape, and 1B shows a rice cake cut into a straight wavy shape according to another embodiment. Reference numeral 2A denotes a curved corrugated guillotine blade, and 2B denotes a linear corrugated guillotine blade. The guillotine blades 2A and 2B are attached and fixed to the support member 3.

The cut rice cake 1A cut into a curved waveform according to the present invention is obtained by cutting using a curved waveform guillotine blade 2A shown in FIG. The cutting procedure is as follows. When the supporting member 3 of the curved corrugated guillotine blade 2A is fixedly attached to a cutting machine (not shown) and the cutting machine is operated, the guillotine blade 2A repeatedly moves up and down. By moving the hardened solidified rice cake placed on the belt conveyor (not shown) under the blade 2A at a constant speed, the rice cake 1A having the cross section as illustrated in FIG. 3 is obtained. The cut surface of the rice cake 1A is cut into a regular waveform both at the top and bottom.

Further, in cutting into the corrugated shape which is the feature of the present invention, the curved corrugated guillotine blade 2 A is replaced with the linear corrugated guillotine blade 2 B of FIG. The mochi 1B cut into the linear corrugated shape shown in FIG. 4 is obtained. In the practice of the present invention, the thickness of the rice cake can be changed by adjusting the speed of the belt conveyor, and it is also possible to easily cut the rice cake by a normal plane cutting by replacing the guillotine blade. In mass production of rice cake for indirect heating according to the present invention (hereinafter referred to as "rice cake of the present invention"), guillotine blade material is made of stainless steel, steel, etc., and Teflon processing, etc. to prevent the chips of rice cake from adhering to the surface. Is desirable.

Regarding the form of the rice cake of the present invention having the above-mentioned structure, when means other than the cutting means is required, it may be possible to put it in a container having an appropriate shape and mold it. However, the physical properties of rice cakes are that the elasticity in the soft state is very strong and they return to their original shape even if they are molded. Therefore, the rice cake in the container cannot be taken out for at least about 48 hours until the rice cake is completely hardened, so that a large number of containers are required for molding, resulting in a sharp increase in manufacturing cost. Compared with the above-mentioned means, the rice cake of the present invention is characterized by using a corrugated guillotine blade for cutting, which contributes to improvement in mass production and has great practical value.

[0011]

[Effect of the invention]

 According to the present invention having the above configuration, the following effects can be obtained. That is, the feature of the present invention as set forth in claims 1 and 2 is that the cut surfaces are the front and back surfaces of the largest surfaces of the rice cakes 1A and 1B of the present invention. According to the present invention, the cutting means is cut into a curved waveform or a straight waveform by implementing the above-mentioned concrete means, and regular peaks and valleys are formed on the surfaces of the rice cakes 1A and 1B of the present invention. It is appropriate that the height difference between the mountain portion and the valley portion is about 3 mm, and as a result, a gap is formed on the contact surface between the rice cake cake 1A, 1B of the present invention and the cooking utensil, and the tip of the chopstick is inserted into the gap. You can easily turn the rice cake inside out while you are entering and baking.

In the case of the inventions of claims 3 and 4, the positions of the corrugations on the two front and back surfaces that are cut into corrugations are aligned, and the vertical thickness of the corrugated surfaces is the mochi 1A of the present invention. , 1B are uniform. Therefore, since the rice cake of the present invention has a constant thickness, the whole baking becomes uniform.

According to the first to fourth aspects of the invention, the area where the corrugated portion of the cut rice cake of the present invention directly contacts the heating surface such as a hot plate is reduced, but the area which receives radiant heat is increased. Therefore, the corrugated portion of the rice cake of the present invention receives a large amount of heat uniformly and is quickly baked. Furthermore, since the corrugated portions of the cut rice cakes 1A and 1B of the present invention have a reduced area in direct contact with the heating surface, indirect heating due to radiant heat occupies most of them even after baking, so that charring does not easily occur. Moreover, even if the rice cake is baked, the shape of the corrugation remains, so the tip of the chopsticks resists and it is easy to grab and it is hard to drop. In addition, it has a large surface area and has good adhesion to sauce and soy sauce.
